Happy Thursday, y’all. Yesterday’s news was highlighted by the release of the USMNT roster, so we begin there:
Former D.C. United wingers Julian Gressel and Paul Arriola both make the USMNT January Camp roster. Gressel’s inclusion is his first call-up after becoming a U.S. citizen.
Jordan Baggett will return to the Washington Spirit, signing a 2-year deal with a club option for 2025. Glad to have her back!
Referees will test out explaining VAR decisions to stadium crowds at next month’s Club World Cup. They should already be doing this, and - hot take incoming - they should have stoppage time on the clocks in the stadium as well.
